'Antennagate'

Shortly after launch however, owners noticed that gripping the iPhone 4's metal frame could cause signal to drop -- an issue that was dubbed "antennagate." After a spell of silence, Apple called a press conference to announce, "We're not perfect."

Jobs said that getting signal loss from holding the phone was "not unique" to the iPhone 4. To prove that rival smartphones were also vulnerable, we were shown signal dropping on a BlackBerry, and some other mobiles too.

Price drop

With the launch of the iPhone 4S, the price of the iPhone 4 was dropped, making it more accessible to those shopping on a budget. The launch of the iPhone 5 would see yet another price drop for Apple's fourth smartphone.
